Alum Bay, Isle of Wight, England
The multicoloured rock strata of the cliffs at Alum Bay in the southwest corner of the Isle of Wight have, like the adjacent Needle rocks, long been one of its main tourist attractions. The rocks are easily friable and glass ornaments filled with layers of coloured Alum Bay sand are a popular memento of their holiday for many visitors.
